Stranger in the Window – Murder in the Heartland: The 1941 Cold Case of Leila A. Welsh (7/15/2024)
Stranger in the Window – Available on Amazon
83 years ago, Leila Adele Welsh’s last good night ended in murder
In Kansas City, Missouri, a young and promising woman named Leila Welsh was tragically taken from this world on a fateful night in March 1941. As she returned home from a fun date attending the Police Circus event and ending the evening for drinks at the President Hotel (now Hilton President), her life was brutally cut short between the hours of 1:00-5:00 a.m. at the tender age of 24. Leila, a beloved teacher with a heart of gold, and well-liked, touched the lives of many with her kindness. Little did she know that her final evening would be shrouded in darkness and mystery.
I began researching and writing this book nearly 13 years ago. I’m very excited about this book because it helps to memorialize the victim. There are so many cold cases in the U.S., many of which are still unsolved.
